<p>Comedian and HBO host Bill Maher has said on several occasions that he worries about President Joe Biden’s ability to best former President Donald Trump in November — and after Saturday’s assassination attempt on Trump, he suggested the race was all but over.</p>
<p>During a stand-up show just hours after a gunman opened fire at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania — leaving two dead, including the shooter, and three more wounded, including the former president — Maher lamented the fact that every new development seemed to be tilting in Trump’s favor.</p>
<p>Maher shared a video of his reaction to the situation, captioning it, “The opening of my comedy show last night a few hours after the shooting if anyone wants to know my thoughts.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">The opening of my comedy show last night a few hours after the shooting if anyone wants to know my thoughts…. <a href="https://t.co/bMov0INLEr">pic.twitter.com/bMov0INLEr</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Bill Maher (@billmaher) <a href="https://twitter.com/billmaher/status/1812386329247830366?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 14, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Maher began by saying he would not use such a horrific event as a punchline to attack Trump.</p>
<p>“I unequivocally denounce [the shooting], I don’t care what you think about that. Not funny. I’m sure that there will be jokes that people will make because they hate him so much that they wished it went the other way. Not for me,” he explained.</p>
<p>Maher went on to say that if photos were to decide the election, the image of Trump with his fist in the air — seconds after he was literally shot — would put an end to any contest.</p>
<p>“When I saw that photo today of him with the blood streaming down his face — I don’t want to say the election’s over but … Anything can happen in an election,” Maher said. “Jesus Christ &#8230; MAGA nation finally has its full martyr. They loved it when he went to jail. The mug shot. I gotta say, he’s insane and a criminal. But that mug shot? F***ing nailed it.”</p>
<p>”And he [reacted to the shooting] like he rehearsed it! [Got it on] take one! There will be idiot conspiracy theorists who will say, ‘Oh they planned it.’ He gets grazed and the other guy gets [killed] — that’s so Trump,” Maher continued, remarking that he believed Trump to be the luckiest man alive. “It’s going to work for him. I can see the memes now — ‘the man the libtards couldn’t kill.’ Biden can’t get through a debate and a bullet can’t stop Donald Trump. It almost doesn’t matter who the Democrats put up now.”</p>
